Hey All!

I seem to be having some serious problems with getting enough protein in my diet without either a) blowing my TDEE and/or b) surviving on baked chicken breasts for every meal.

Any tips?

I'm trying to hit about 120 grams/day, and seem to be barely able to get up to 90!

    I was having the same problem and have incorporated a protein shake into my daily requirements. I use Isoflex and it has 27 g of protein without much additional carbs or calories.

    What do your workouts consist of?

    (mostly cardio (running, biking, hiking, zumba, stair climber etc), or strength (weights....heavy weights))

    Mostly heavy lifting. My cardio is mostly brisk walks a couple times a week.

    Okay, I just wanted to make sure you weren't a cardio bunny eating that much protein. Lifting is another story.

    Lemon and Cracked Pepper Albacore steaks. Protein fluff (google videos on it...so yummy), Protein oatmeal, egg whites, almonds, milk!!!!milk!!!milk!!! Cottage cheese

    You can drink a protein shake in the morning for breakfast. If you like protein drinks. I bu 100% whey protein strawberry and also chocholate from GNC. One scoop has 20 grams of protein. You can mix with slim milk for even more protein. I have never been able to gag down protein shakes but I think these are great. Give it a try
